The Maple Tree at Seaside Park

I've shared two images of this Maple tree at Seaside Park so far but couldn't help myself in sharing one more vantage point. I had photographed this tree for the first time in the fog on October 20, 2012 and had returned on October 4, 2014 to find it at nearly peak color. The light was flat and skies were gray and so I made it a point to return the next morning when the forecast called for blue skies and scattered clouds. I started off photographing this Maple tree from the other direction so that I could include the Seaside [...]

Fall in Marblehead – Crowninshield Road

All of this week's images were captured over a few hours span on Sunday morning. I had started out along Beacon Street hoping for a solid dawn and sunrise and having that wish fulfilled (more of those images next week). As the sun rose above the horizon, it began to light up the trees along Crowninshield Road and, in particular, one tree showing off its Fall colors. With the expansive view of Doliber Cove and the orange color of this one tree lit up by the morning sun, the scene seemed to sum up Fall in Marblehead quite well.

Peak Foliage in Marblehead – Brilliant Reds at Seaside Park

Monday's post included a horizontal view of this maple tree at Seaside park showcasing its brilliant red color at peak foliage along Atlantic Avenue. I couldn't leave this scene with only one image and worked a number of angles before the sun rose too high in the sky for me to be able to get the compositions I wanted. I'm still torn over which image I prefer - this vertical one or Monday's horizontal view. In either case, I was thrilled to be able to capture this tree's beautiful colors showcasing Fall in Marblehead.

Old Town House and the Maple Tree

On Sunday morning, after capturing views of dawn from Beacon Street, I drove into historic downtown Marblehead to check on the progress of a certain tree on Washington Street. This maple tree stands in the space between two multi-family homes with stores on the ground floors. I have tried to capture the Old Town House and the maple tree on several occasions over the years but was never happy with the colors of the leaves of the composition. As I drove down Mugford Street, I was surprised to see very few cars parked around Old Town House and Washington Street. [...]

Peak Foliage in Marblehead – The Tree on the Avenue

There are a few trees in town that have become my favorites over these past 5 years and the maple on Atlantic Avenue near the Seaside park sign is among them. I had gone out on Saturday in grey, flat light and found this tree to have reached almost peak foliage. The weather was due to turn for the better the next morning and so I made the quick decision to wake up early and try to capture theist tree at peak foliage in better light. I started off shooting around Doliber Cover and Little Harbor (come back Thursday and [...]

First Foliage of the Season – Green Street Cemetery

On September 21, a thick fog descended on Marblehead as sunset neared and I made a dash out to the Green Street cemetery where I has spotted the first foliage of the season. The fog helped hide the wires overhead that still seem to overpower the scene. I tried two different compositions and honestly can't decide which I like better and if either really 'works' in the end. Can't wait to shoot more scenes of Fall in Marblehead in the days to come...

Gravestones under a Maple Tree

Fall has arrived but the trees are only slowly making their way from green to brilliant orange and red this year. I decided to look back at the archive and found this image captured on September 25, 2013 with gravestones at the Green Street Cemetery seen under the light of a Maple tree at peak Fall colors. I had capture this tree previously in a favorite image. You can see all of my foliage images of Marblehead to get ready for this coming season by clicking here - Click for Foliage

Fall Colors and Abbot Hall

On October 26, I had headed out to capture the Halloween Race in the harbor. After shooting the boats with their multicolored sails passing in front of Abbot Hall, I decided to head across the causeway and over to Crocker Park for one last check of the Fall colors. I found some trees had turned earlier than others and this particular one on the left side of the screen was displaying some great color. I decided on a vertical (or portrait) orientation and tried to capture the feel of Fall against the familiar backdrop of Abbot Hall and the houses [...]

Through the Woods and Under the Trees

Last Friday, I shared an image and asked viewers to figure out where it was taken. That was a fun exercise and I thought I would repeat it with this view of a path leading under/through a canopy of trees. Anyone know where in Marblehead this was taken? Answer in the comments below.

Fall in Marblehead – Through the Woods and Over the Bridge

As you have hopefully been able to see, Wednesday October 23rd offered perfect conditions to capture peak Fall foliage in Marblehead. I started off at Tedesco, then drove over to Ware pond, headed up to the pond at Whittier Road and then came up on this scene on Beacon Street. I actually had stopped here for the flowers that line Beacon Street and tried to find a composition that would highlight the flowers against the great red and yellow hues of the trees in the distance that had reached peak Fall colors. As I moved further down to get a [...]
